(Intro)
1. Strophe:
Young Man, There's No Need To Feel Down.
I Said, Young Man,
Pick Yourself Off The Ground.
I Said, Young Man,
'cause You're In A New Town,
There's No Need To Be Unhappy.
Young Man, There's A Place You Can Go.
I Said, Young Man,
When You're Short On Your Dough.
You Can Stay There,
And I'm Sure You Will Find
Many Ways To Have A Good Time.
Refrain:
It's Fun To Stay At The YMCA.
It's Fun To Stay At The YMCA.
They Have Everything For You Men To Enjoy,
You Can Hang Out With All The Boys...
It's Fun To Stay At The YMCA.
It's Fun To Stay At The YMCA.
You Can Get Yourself Cleaned,
You Can Have A Good Meal,
You Can Do Whatever You Feel...
2. Strophe:
Young Man, Are You Listening To Me?
I Said, Young Man,
What Do You Want To Be?
I Said, Young Man,
You Can Make Real Your Dreams.
But You've Got To Know This One Thing!
No Man Does It All By Himself.
I Said, Young Man,
Put Your Pride On The Shelf,
And Just Go There, To The YMCA
I'm Sure They Can Help You Today.
(Refrain)
3. Strophe:
Young Man, I Was Once In Your Shoes.
I Said, I Was Down And Out With The Blues.
There's A Place There Called The YMCA
They Can Start You Back On Your Way.
Ending:
It's Fun To Stay At The YMCA.
YMCA.
Oh You Can Do Everything,
You Can Have A Good Meal,
When You Came With Me.
Oh It Is Fun To Stay With The YMCA.
YMCA.
You Can Get Yourself Cleaned,
You Can Have A Good Meal,
You Can Do Whatever You Feel...
YMCA!
